A cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane of plant cells.

The cell membrane is a barrier that surrounds cells.

The nucleus stores genetic material and commands other organelles.

An organelle is a specialized structure within a cell.

The thick fluid region of a cell located inside the cell membrane or between the cell memory and nucleus

The mitochondria often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they generate most of the cell’s energy.

Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum is a multifunctional cellular organelle responsible for protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and calcium storage, existing in two main forms: rough ER and smooth ER.

The Golgi apparatus is critical for modifying, packaging, and sorting proteins and lipids for transport within and outside the cell.

A sac-like organelle that stores water, food and other materials.

Lysosomes act as the cell’s digestive system, breaking down waste materials, cellular debris, and macromolecules into reusable components.

A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.

A body structure that is composed of different kinds of different kinds of tissues that work together.

The organ system consists of various organelles that work together to maintain cellular functions, much like organs in a body coordinate vital activities.

Specialized cells are cells that have developed unique structures and functions to perform specific tasks within an organism.

The division of labor within a cell refers to the specialized functions performed by various organelles, enabling the cell to operate efficiently and fulfill its biological roles.

List what is inside the nucleus

The nucleus in a cell contains DNA, RNA, proteins, and specialized substructures that coordinate genetic and regulatory functions.

Describe the difference between animal and plant cell structures

they differ in the presence of specific structures like cell walls, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles in plants.

Describe what the Endoplasmic reticulum does for ribosomes

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), specifically the rough ER, provides a surface for ribosomes to attach and facilitates the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins.

Where ribosomes are made and why they are so important

Ribosomes are made in the nucleolus of the cell and are essential because they serve as the molecular machines that synthesize proteins, which are crucial for virtually all cellular functions.
